Preheat your oven to 375°F. Fill a large pot with the water and a pinch of the salt, then bring to a boil for 10 minutes over high heat.
Add the penne to the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, set a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 7 minutes until browned. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, the rest of the salt, and the black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes to combine.
In a small baking dish, stir together the cooked pasta, the meat sauce, and the cottage cheese. Top evenly with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted.
